The Vale of Grwyney Community Council has announced the completion of the renovation of Llangenny Water Fountain.

The water fountain is a Grade II structure, built in 1887 by Andrew Doyle - a local benefactor - to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee. 

The original spring water supply dried up many years ago, but a new mains connection means water flows once more.

Plans to restore the fountain and connect it to mains water have been years in the making, but only became a reality due to the support of the community and funding from the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park Authority Sustainable Development Fund.

Now, anyone in need of a tipple can fill their bottles with clean drinking water for free.  

The council hopes this will encourage people to use refillable bottles.
